To Mexican Veterans.

The Washington Post of the l4th says the commissioner of pensions has had prepared a letter of in structions and blank forms of ap. plication and atHdavits of witness es for the use of applicants for pensions under the Mexican pen sion law of January 20, 1887. These blanks, he thinks, will faclli- tate the business of his office and enable applicants to have their rights promptly adjudicated, with out unnecessary correspondence, trouble or expense. The commis- sioner expected to have the blanks printed and ready for use on Wed, nesday, February 16. He invites direct application to his office by expectant pensioners. Upon re. ceipt of an individual application an appropriate letter of instruc- tions and set ot blanks will be for. warded to the applicant. The let ters of instructions are full and ex- plicit, plain, and all may be easily understood, without the necessity of a legal education.
 The attention of Mexican war veterans in Arkansas who intend applying for pensions is directed 10 these facts, as showing the proper method of proceeding with out unnecessary delay or expense. The pension is small, and few of the proposed beneiciaries are blessed in possessing much of this worlds goods. They cannot af- ford any considerable expenditure in procuring the money due them for serving their country over for ty years ago go.--Arkansas Gazette.

 "l got such d scare just now" " said Mrs. Peterby, a few days ago,
 "N hat scared you, my dear?"
 "l was in the kitchen just now when all at once, a hideous look ing tramp stuck his head Tn the window. Oh, l never was so scared in all my born days"
 Did the tramp get good look at you, darling?'
 "Yes. he looked me square in the face,'
 "Then I'll bet he was worse scared than you were"

1t is in the large plains, called Liam
does" in southwest France, that the poo
pie use stills as a matter of course These
plains are generally flooded, though not
to a sufficient depth to enable people to
get about in boats. The stills are held
in the hand like those we are accustomed
to see. but arc firmly strapped to the side
Of the leg. The person wearing them
carries a long pole to balance himself and
aid him in walking. The pole has usually
a cross piece at one end. SO that by put
ting it at q slant on the ground behind
him the person on stills car sit down on
it and rest. 1t is a common occurrence
in that country to see men and women
sitting and knitting in this exalted po-
sition. while the sheep they are tending
wander about the plain. Thep wear
their stills all day long, putting them on
when they go out in the morning and
taking them off only when they return
home at Observation-Disclosures Call.

The secret of fire caters is said to con.
sist in merely rubbing the hands and
thoroughly washing the mouth, lips,
tongue and other parts that are to touch
the fire with pure spirit of sulphur. This
burns or cauterizes the outer skin until it
becomes as hard as thick leather. When,
by frequent applications, the skin has be-
come so horny as to become troublesome,
washing the parts affected with very
warm water will bring away all the
shriveled skin. Blacksmiths may often
lie met with who will pick up a glowing
bar of iron in their naked hands, or rake
a live coal from the fire to light their

houses than ever finds its way into the
